Climate and Mobility

Many of the major human activities around the globe have to do with mobility: Supply chains for industrial production, global trade, waste disposal, food production, commuting to work and for leisure activities, tourism, to name a few. Mobility constitutes nearly one-quarter of the emissions in the EU and raises issues of habitat destruction and social justice. Thus, mobility technologies are an integral focus of climate science and climate technology development. Among the most important efforts to tackle climate change are innovative technological solutions for the transformation towards climate neutrality such as carbon dioxide removal, solar radiation modification, zero-emission road transport, digital aircrafts, and safe and resilient smart mobility services for passengers and goods. This social lab will explore trends and developments and their feasibility, their impact on societies and economies, and the fairness of risk trade-offs and cost distributions.
